Refreshing your 60 Series Gasoline or DIESEL Alternator Connections Connectors Rubber Boots Ring Terminals
Mounting Hardware 33+ Years Later and Why :

i will go over my recent experience and what i discovered on GHOST's 3FE 5/89

- digging hardened then hard in JAPAN to find the original UPDATE 3FE alternator 3 wire black plug


more to come ....

So , lets have at it shall we ...

- In the order of things in my world , and as a very well documented FSM approach to performing a DE-SMOG on a 5/89 FJ62LG-PNEK 3F-E
i made a public pledge to create not only a fundamentally Technically Technical Correct fsm type step by step approach , that removed what was necessary and did NOT remove what is still necessary ...

- i publicly dared myself to create a 100% All TOYOTA OEM Japan Spec. Parts Kit to perform the 3-FE desmog , and i can say for 100% fact i have done just this and that , my kit parts should also work same in kind on FJ80 3F-E ...

- this includes a proper Cogged TOYOTA Genuine parts Drive Belt , and the needed OEM parts to correctly delete and seal the EGR Tube port on the Exhaust manifold , and the intake too for that matter ....

- this is NOT the updated De-Smog thread , rather what i ran into regarding my existing Factory PLANT A-11 External Fan Alternator ... and all things related to it , hardware and Electrical parts and connections etc ...

- it led me down a path i have not been before , and in the end has producwed so pretty killer kool OEM Japan Spec. Parts , like the updated FJ80 , late FJ62 BLACK Cold. Spec. 3-pin WATER PROOF and BOMB Proof O-Ring sealed Connector plug , a unique HIGH-FLOW External Fan for the COLS SPEC. Regions , AKA SNOW VERSION Fan , and also exposed som,e LAME AZZ TOYOTA parts facts , such as the main Throttle Body Gasket is simply NLA .....


- Summery : if anyone ever tells you , that after 34+ years , refreshing all those connections , same in kind as all the thermostat housings ones for example , they do not understand this topic , or can't understand this topic ....

- the below surprised me in some ways , and also made much sense in others too , using all OEM repair and service parts is my way , and the only way , installing NEW OEM assembly hardware wherever and whenever possible has never made more and more sense day by day , i DO practice what i can preach , toyota OEM parts wise anyway .....


THIS IS THE WAY ......

Below is the PLANT A11 day 1 installed Alternator , it was still turning and burning solid 80+ AMPS , but as fate would have it only days prior to step 1 of my planned DE-SMOG ,


i was carefully packing this NEW 2023 Date code 90A unit rascal Below , and turned to grab more tape , my gun was out of bullets clear , and well ......


He rolled off the workstation and landed a inch from my foot 36" high free fall , if this Alternator landed on any part of my foot or feet that would be a instant CAST for months , the dead weight , with the installed double pulley , and ALL my icing on the cake hardware and such is exactly : 15.8 usa pounds ..

- he hit the concrete floor with a thud and i knew that i was not missing any toes soon after , but being only partially wrapped , i knew i had to un-wrap , so like a kid taking off a band-aid slow and pain-full it was i saw the impact and damage to the BROWN plastic connector housing that sticks out more then a inch and the side body too on the rear frame end was dented , instant NO GO to a customer client .......


- luckly i keep more then one of these on hand so i just put the hurt one aside and carries on ,,,,

- i WILL NEVER turn my back on a ALTERNATOR during wrapping it up to mail out ever again , this was NOT the first time ......it was a 2nd from a similar incident , many years ago

Is crimp and solder technique OEM? In the mil/aero world its alway either, never both

Why never both?

 

[BurntToast]

Why never both?

The cable guy told me (could be wrong) that the solder can wick up into the wire past the crimp and that is your new rigid/flex bending transition point. Over time that is your failure point.

the worse one is soldering then crimping, where you have the same issue but also poor clamping/deformation of the copper wire

I saw @BurntToast super valid and indeed intriguing tech question last night late and I made it a point so Scribble in my daily job log a set reminder to B

I was not aware of any TOYOTA that has 2 Solid White wires at the B+ Ring terminal ..

This created the need to use a special M6 Terminal that I had to special order from JAPAN …

More to come ..

i am subscribed to incorporating Space Age Rocket Science Technology into any Vintage TOYOTA this and that i do daily here at the Laboratory ....

- just see the proof below , nowadays the TEq is Landing several times a week at the very least ,,,

- but ....

- i failed to mention in my chatty matty tech above , ...

- i simply and carefully only folded over the 4 open barrel tabs like i did , to hold the one 10ga & its little 12ga buddy there after i polished the copper strands BRIGHT , and lathered them in SILVER SOLDER Flux , the POISON kind you accidently rub in your eye , your calling 911

- my OEM Double Open Barrel Dies LONG hangle Ergonomics ratchet crimpers , only go up to 10ga

- i have no idea there was a 2nd white wire in there 12ga at that , i still have NO CLUE why or what its for , i have NEVER seen a doubled up B+ Ring Terminal White Wire w/ blue tracer / Solid white wire like that in tandem at the Alternator B+ RING in my Toyota Life Time anyway ....


- Typically i would NEVER Silver Solder like that , but i had ZERO OPTIONS on the table .....

- except my new little buddies here i scooped up at the new Local Dispensary that some how Sprung up over night across town ?

anyway , these F'ing ROCK ,pin point precision heat at the flick of the thumb !


best of all , there refillable / re/charge using a small butane mother ship can upside down

i happened upon this clip by chance a few years ago , i honestly watch the beginning opening author's mind blowing words of inspiration and wisdom at least once a week or more some times , i generally crank the desk top sound system to full throttle volume , for the speakers in the shop , in the mornings , it recharges me , gives me Inspiration , and by the time that bad boy is clear of the top of the pad tower that falls away , my wife is texting my phone from upstairs to turn that Rocket down .....

i realized one day months later , that i was more or less , already doing what the Author suggests to the audience watching that they do .....

i recall that moment clearly as right now because its real , and in a fundamental sense , helps make this here below happen more often each day at work and in my personal HOBBY Time on GHOST and the rest of the TOYOTA Fleet
